Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 267. What is the largest integer?

Answer 1

90

Answer 2

let x = first integer
obviously the consecutive integer would be x + 1
the third integer would be x+2

their sum is 267 so

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 267
3x + 3 = 267
3x = 267 - 3
3x = 264

solve for x

Answer 3

No its x= 88

Answer 4

Lets say X= largest integer:

then

x + (x-1) + (x-2) = 267

x= 90

Answer 5

then you add 2 to get the largest integer

Answer 6

or yeah, 90 works too.
